^ people do say thick is fat, voluptous is fat... i see it like this. the beauty industry has fucked with our perception of beauty. why is it that in modeling, plus size is average size, and abnormally skinny women are perfect? that's not how it is in the real world.
in the 50's, a bigger boned beautiful woman was glorified. what happenned to that? i used to wish i were thin, etc... but then i realized that as long as you're comfy in your own skin, you're gonna be alright ;) fuck what others say.

that's probably why, when i move to austin, i will still work weekends in beaumont... i do extremely well looking the way i do. i just don't feel like i'd be appreaciated in austin.
Why would you think that? Have you been down to our clubs yet Corgan? While we're on the subject, when are you coming down for a visit so I can give you a grand tour?

I don't think I qualify for average/plus size yet as I'm only a size 4 but I agree with the skewed perception. I have it and I know it. It's just that I was a size 0 and under for most of my life and now I have to live with this actual number on my pants and I hate it.

Geebus!!!!
A size 4? A size zero? Maybe if I measured around my thigh! Hehehe. Granted, I know I am taller than you too, and just an all around larger girl. But crap. I hate the numbers on sizes more and more as they change with what society thinks women want to look at.
I don't weigh myself anymore either. I measure my hips, waist, thighs and bust. f the numbers add up to what I like, then I'm happy. If my jeans still look hot and I don't have more jiggle than wiggle, I feel okay.
I get told ALL the flippen time "Damn! You're a lot of woman!" "Oh I love a thick girl!" "You've got all the curves I like!" "You're built like a woman and not a little girl."
Blah blah blah. Yes, why thank you, now watch as I swing my big ass round your way and wiggle it. That'll be $10 please.
I sometimes wish I were one of those super skinny tall girls with big boobs. I watch them pick out shirts that I could never wear because my ginormous boobs will burst out of them. And I sometimes wonder how it feels to be hugged when you're that skinny.
But then I catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror and see my sexy hips and boobs and curvy butt, and I'm pretty happy with how it all looks. The only bad thing though is that the line for me between curvy-sexy and curvy-fat is very thin. So I have to be very careful.

That is what I was referring to when I made the "woman" comment. I should have posted it that way and there wouldn't be all of this mishigoss.
And I am working on a line of clothes for slim women with boobs and bums, so keep a look out for it!

Some of these are much better then the " I like a thick girl" or " I'm glad you arent skinny like the rest" or even better.." I LIKE a girl with some weight on her" or "dont let anyone else tell you you are fat" "dont lose a pound..no matter what ANYONE says..you look good the way you are" from people I've never met...
Yeah..I'm fat and you are trying to make me feel better about it...got it. Thanks. not working.
All you are doing is making me look at the skinny cokeheads and contemplate starting a drug habit. Way to go dude.
Cant you just say I'm pretty and leave it at that?????

I said considered, not done. I've never done drugs ever.
I stumbled across a thread earlier today with half of the members admitting hella worse stuff than my considering drugs.

i actually have used meth as a weight loss tool in the past. and i'm not ashamed to post that, because everyone here knows about my past psycho-obsessive body image behaviours.

I have heard it ALL. I have been called thick, toned, curvy, skinny (a few have even told me I'm TOO skinny!), hourglass shaped, muscular, small-boobed, big-boobed, perfect, bigger, "vuluptous," you name it. It's annoying as hell, but men are always going to comment. My super skinny friends get called gross, anorexic, and get told to eat all the time, and the girls who are bigger than me get their share of comments too. Really, you can't win. :)
Omg me too! 5'8" 130 lbs and generally skinny-looking, but I literally have been referred to as pretty much everything there is...skinny, chubby, flat, curvy, strong, weak...it's ridiculous.
FTR I like healthy. It can be thin or curvy, as long as everything is in proportion and healthy-looking.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has had that "hmmm..it wouldnt REALLY be that bad for just a little while" moment before shaking my head and coming back to earth.

Oh yeah, I thought about it. Thank God I thought about it AGAIN and decided it was dumb. Nice to know neither one of us did it...
